Rehoming
If you prefer rehoming your pet without taking it to the shelter, please check out the links below on how to safely rehome your pet.
Directly rehoming your pet to a caring home can help alleviate the stress of the shelter and ensure that your pet goes to a person of your choice when done ethically and responsibly.
Below are several tips and options to help if you would like to rehome your pet yourself.
Rehome by Adopt-a-Pet
Life can bring unexpected challenges, leading to situations where a beloved pet may require a new home. To assist individuals and families in rehoming their pets, The SPCA of Hernando County collaborates with Rehome by Adopt-a-Pet.com to offer complimentary community listings for pets in need of new families. Through this partnership, pet owners can connect with potential new homes for their pets outside of traditional shelter settings, which benefits both the families and the pets.

Please do not place an ad for “free to good home” in the newspaper, unless you are able and willing to thoroughly screen the potential adopters. A “free to good home” ad is an easy way of finding animals for the illegal dog fighting community, laboratories, people with criminal records of animal abuse etc.
